How we edited our thriller project

 We edited our project using Final Cut Pro. This is where we put together all the titles, logos, video clips and sounds together that we had created for our thriller intro. Firstly we imported all the files by clicking 'file' > 'import' > 'files'. By doing this all the files become available in Final Cut, and ready to drag onto the timeline.

 After roughly arranging all the clips in chronological order I began to edit all the clips. Most clips could easily be cut to the desired length by dragging one side of the clip in. For some clips we had to make them longer, by changing the speed.

To do this you right click on the selected clip then select 'change' speed. Settings then appear that canbe modified to change the clip to your desired speed.

The the titles used in our thriller opening had a 'shimmering' effect. This was also edited in final cut.

Firstly I created text and typed in the appropriate job titles. Then effects were added, we chose the 'bad film' effect to give the shimmering effect that fits in well within the thriller genre.

The template effect could also be edited, so each job title was varied.

After the titles were created these were also imported into our main project. 

After the editing was finished we exported the file by clicking 'file' > 'export' > 'Quicktime Movie'
